Plate

The plate is complete, with a crack from the rim to the bottom. It is circular in shape. The wall is flared towards the rim, which is in line with it; it is topped by a plain top. The wall curves towards the bottom, which is flat. It rests on a ring-shaped foot. The bottom is recessed and flat. There is a blue printed mark below the bottom: C, a cross-hatched crescent; the decoration is applied by transfer printing; it is blue in color and features the Fence motif. The decoration below the inner edge is a horizontal ribbon made up of a row of rectangles with radiating dashes and a pearl in the center, regularly interrupted by an area decorated with a plant and flower motif; it is underlined by a fillet. The main decoration is on the background, and consists of two distinct areas separated by a stream. The foreground area, on dry land, has as its main element a fence made of a few sections: two are straight, while the others are arranged in a zig-zag pattern. The fence sections are decorated with hatching, with a small, three-lobed opening in the center. A rock borders the fence on the right. Leafy and flowering plant stems of varying scales adjoin the fence, including a long stem extending upwards and to the left, towards the island; they are cross-hatched. The island is elongated and cross-hatched. It is topped by a hut with a curved straw roof, flanked by three trees; a lobed rock borders the island at water level. Waves made of horizontal lines strike the island and the rock. At the foot of the island are two groups of plants and three rocks. Above the island fly two birds; seen in profile to the left, they follow each other, one wing pointing up and the other down.
